In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 175 In the Haze

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood, dyeing the entire sky orange and red.

As the case came to an end, the bustling crowd in front of the Dali Temple gradually dispersed, leaving only a little afterglow shining on the empty streets.

Looking lonely and dejected, Qiao Zhenbang boarded the carriage that Qiao Hu had hurriedly brought over, ready to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

His originally upright figure now seemed a little hunched, as if he was crushed by an invisible pressure.

On the other side, Qiao Zien ran towards Huicui Building with great joy in her heart.

Because he couldn't wait to share this exciting good news with Chen Ruotong.

When Qiao Zien arrived at Huicui Building, she found that it was closed.

In the backyard, Chen Ruotong was sitting with Chen Sanhe and others, listening attentively to Feng Liangyu's account of the case that happened today.

Feng Liangyu seemed to have found the feeling he had when he was telling stories. He danced and gesticulated, and told the whole story vividly.

Everyone listened with fascination and was completely immersed in it.

At this moment, Qiao Zien quietly appeared behind the crowd, but his arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes were still fixed on Feng Liangyu, attracted by his wonderful narration.

Seeing this, Qiao Zien simply stopped disturbing him and stood there quietly, listening to Feng Liangyu's story with great interest.

When the story was finished, the whole room burst into warm applause and everyone started whispering and talking.

They denounced the actions of Tian and Li Chun with righteous indignation, and at the same time they also talked enthusiastically about all kinds of gossip and interesting stories in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, at this moment, a sharp-eyed servant suddenly noticed Qiao Zien standing in the corner and couldn't help but shout out, "Master Qiao, how are you!"

This shout was like a thunder that split the sky, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet and silent.

Everyone looked embarrassed and at a loss. In the end, they could only leave the room silently, not daring to say another word.

In a blink of an eye, only Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien were left in the huge room, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle and awkward.

Qiao Zien laughed and said, "Everyone is embarrassed because they don't know the reason. Why are you so embarrassed?"

"They are your family members after all. It's embarrassing for such a thing to happen in the Marquis' Mansion!"

"These trivial matters don't matter to me. I don't care about face at all. I am who I am..."

"Well, different fireworks! Hahaha..." Chen Ruotong interrupted and laughed.

"Now that the revenge of the original owner and his mother has been taken, I can now pursue my career in politics with peace of mind!"

"Zi En, I never knew that at such a young age, you're still such a fan of government officials!"

"Hey, I'm not a kid anymore. Same here. I'm a power-hungry person, and you're a money-hungry person!"

"So, we are from the same world, and we share the same ideals!"

"Well, we are from the same hometown! By the way, I wish you a great opening today and a fruitful harvest!"

"Of course. With the Emperor as our living signboard, how can we not make money? The turnover is much higher than usual!

Now money is just a number to me. It doesn’t matter whether I make money or not, or how much money I make! I’m just looking for something to do for myself. Look how Versailles I am, hahaha…”

"What? What does this have to do with the Palace of Versailles in France?"

Therefore, Chen Ruotong could only speak some modern popular Internet language to Qiao Zien.

Qiao Zien yearns for life in modern society even more. He wants to do his best to make this ancient country richer and more developed!

Chen Ruotong asked curiously again, "When did Zien find so many witnesses and evidence? Let Tian have nowhere to hide and accept the punishment. Evil will be punished!"

"After I came back this time, I used my free time to search inside and outside the palace, spent some money, cast a net, and made secret investigations. Naturally, I found the relevant people and evidence from that year..."

Chen Ruotong gave a thumbs up with a smile on her face, "That's amazing! I give you a big thumbs up! Hahaha..."

After Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien chatted for a while, the night gradually fell and the lights came on. Chen Ruotong invited Qiao Zien to have dinner here.

Out of consideration for her own safety, Chen Ruotong brought Old Lady Chen to live with her in the backyard of Huicui Building.

After all, the current situation is complex and changeable, and one may fall into danger if one is not careful.

Chen Ruotong couldn't help feeling helpless and aggrieved as she didn't dare to live in the newly bought luxurious house.

It is really depressing to have such a luxurious residence but not dare to move in for various reasons.

But she knew that her patience was only temporary. As long as Liang Yachi and Liang Zhilan eventually fell, all threats would disappear.

By then, she would be able to live in any house she wanted and enjoy life as she pleased.

Let’s talk about Qiao Zhenbang. After returning to the Marquis’ Mansion, the first thing he did was to find the palace doctor to check his waist.

The fall almost broke his old waist. He gritted his teeth and stayed in the court for the whole afternoon. He only came back after seeing Tian and Li Chun being imprisoned with his own eyes.

The court doctor felt his bones and gave him a massage, and he felt a little better and less painful.

The fall caused him to have a herniated disc. He probably couldn't have sex with his concubines anymore. This disease is not easy to cure...

Haha, what a retribution!

The scandal between Tian and Li Chun was known to everyone in the mansion, both adults and children.

When Qiao Zirui, Qiao Yuyan, and Qiao Zicong found out about this, they found it difficult to accept the fact and almost fainted.

Especially for Qiao Yuyan, the first thing she thought of was not her mother Tian, ​​who was in prison and was beaten with a stick. How was her injury? Was she dead or alive? Instead, she immediately thought of her own marriage.

In March, she got a good marriage with the third son of the Marquis of Zhongyi. She was very satisfied and had always fantasized about marrying him and becoming his bride.

Unexpectedly, a bolt from the blue struck, and her mother destroyed her happiness. With such a lewd mother, she tarnished the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, and the marriage was definitely ruined. Who would dare to marry her in the future?

Could it be that she was going to become a nun? To spend her whole life with the Buddha? She was unwilling to accept this, she would not resign herself to her fate...

The most confused person was Qiao Zicong. He didn't know what to do. The father who once loved him and cared for him turned out not to be his biological father.

He is a bastard, and is actually the biological son of Butler Qiao. How can he accept this cruel fact?

He was about to collapse and lose his mind. Perhaps tomorrow, he would be driven out of the mansion, wandering around, or even becoming a beggar...

Qiao Zirui went crazy again. His illness was getting worse and worse. As long as he was stimulated, he would go crazy, smashing things, cursing, and beating people. The maids and servants were so scared that they dared not approach him...

The aunts were all secretly happy, gloating and watching the show.

At the same time, they are worried that their children will be implicated by this scandal and will not be able to find a good wife or marry into a good family.

At dinner time, no one in the Marquis' Mansion had any appetite!

The Marquis's Mansion was shrouded in a haze...
